tyre pressure

[herr bmw]

sometimes they are also not correct.

inflated the quads tires to the gauge i bought,went to the track,two broken ribs latter,found that the tyres were under inflated,bought another gauge and got it right

I open the drivers doors, look at the specs printed on that sticker and hey presto!

If i do that my tyres must be inflated to 2.5 or something silly..
That little sticker does not show the narrow wide config on 17's for the car.

so i made things easy.. 2.4 all round. works for me and tyres wear evenly.

Mine shows the pressures for 17" narrow/wides, normal load and heavy load etc. IIRC, something like 2.3 front and 2.6 rear...

Tonnessons in Rosmead Avenue, Claremont offer free nitrogen. Do you think it is worth it?

Can't go wrong! Nitrogen does not escape as easily as Oxygen, and there is no moisture as you would typically get with a normal air compressor pumping up the tyres. Plus, there is less of a pressure change based on tyre temperature, so far less chance of a blow-out or change of tyre handling comfort characteristics, albeit a small difference, I firmly believe in the use of Nitrogen in tyres.
